All these coins have been shifted to wallets from which they cannot be spent or withdrawn, so “burning” is nothing but a metaphor. This helps to reduce the amount of SHIB in circulation and attempt to help its price rise in the future when the coin becomes a lot more scarce than now.
Burn event removes 283 million SHIB, some Shiba bought on the dip
@shib_superstore Twitter account, which runs a shop selling mobile games of its own development and SHIB-branded goods, has announced that during a regular burn event on May 15, they managed to annihilate 283 million Shiba Inu.
The shop buys SHIB with some of the profits from advertising in games and from selling goods. Overall, since last year, they have destroyed 1,981,210,929 meme tokens.
The owner of the account tweeted that he had bought some Shiba on the dip, so the burn was not as big as it could have been.
283M SHIB
Gone Forever!!!Few things about this burn;
1.) Metamask doesn’t really pull up the normal information showing how much i’m sending.2.) I bought the dip, not the dippity dip, so the burn was less valuable than it should of been.https://t.co/HT4F4wzXkW pic.twitter.com/WkVXgSCKXU
